Life on the line
Feel for the light, to stay alive this time
Crawling in the dark
We end in the night, to survive this fight
But it’s lie, we know
No one gets out alive, we know

Life on the line
Life is a dream, memories fade away
Don’t give up the fight
Gotta push for the light, to find what’s real inside
Just a matter of time, we know
Running out of time, we know

That gleam in your eyes
When the lights go out
I can feel it closing on me
Death comes around
Remember the day when we would begin and end
What if all this comes to naught?
Will we be the same?
Can we live again?
Life on the line

Life on the line
Endless night, wild and free, to be
Then we were born
Dreams were real, we had a chance to see
A smile beyond time, we saw
Drift out of mind, no more

That gleam in your eyes
When the lights go out
I can feel it closing on me
Death comes around
Remember the day when we would begin and end
What if all this comes to naught?
Will we be the same?
Can we live again?
Life on the line

No more waiting, no time for experiments
No excuses, need something permanent
Need it to light on fire, to break the score
Getting down to the wire, need something more

Thanks for reading / listening!
